Option

Description

Request consent from host side user

Force the host user to permit or deny access when a client
user attempts to open a remote control session. Clear this option to allow a
client user to initiate a remote control session without asking for permission
from the host user.

If user does not respond

Choose
Start remote control if you want the
remote control session to start even if the host user does not respond within
the time set in the
Time to wait for user's consent field.
Choose
Reject request if you want the remote
control session to be refused if the host user does not respond otherwise.

Time to wait for user's consent

Enter the amount of time within which the host user must
respond to the request for permission to initiate remote control. If this time
expires, the setting in the
If user does not respond field will be
applied.

Request Message

This text will be presented to the host user in the remote
control permission dialog box. The string
%USER% will be the Computer Name of the host as
set at the operating system level, plus the client user's operating system
account ID. The account
LogMeInRemoteUser will be used on computers that
have an empty administrator password.

Remote user has Full Control access rights to the
host computer

Select this option to override the setting in the
Request consent from host side user
field. Users with Full Control or Remote Control "D" permission will not
require the host user's permission before initiating remote control. See also
